FIVE morning TV shows in the US were so desperate for content over the holiday season that they booked a chef for cooking segments without doing a background check.

It turns out that chef Keith Guerke who was promoting his book Leftovers Right: Making a winner of last night’s dinner, isn’t actually a chef at all, and he certainly doesn’t have a cookbook.

Instead he is a character created by comedians Nick Prueher and Joe Pickett who are now touring a live stage show where they screen footage from the five TV shows they fooled.

During the awkward segments, chef Keith made the hosts eat some horrible concoctions, including mashed potato in an ice cream cone topped with corn, a ham and gravy smoothie and even day-old KFC drumsticks covered in cranberries.
